How To Preserve Your Oregano

So, we’ve figured out how to grow oregano and how we can use it. But, how do you store it?

Oregano can be frozen, or as I prefer, it can be dried. Not only that, it’s super easy!

Some herbs can turn yellow when you try to dry them, but not Oregano! All you have to do is snip the stems with scissors, gather them into bundles, wrap the end with twine or a rubber band and hang to dry.

My bundles take about a week to dry. But this depends on the humidity. (We live in a very humid climate!)

When the bundles are fully dried, run your fingers along the stem to remove the leaves (or use these herb scissors to chop it up!).

Store your dried Oregano in an airtight container. I love using these storage lids for mason jars!
